1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

aimsNeuroinflammation and pyroptosis are key mediators of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced pathogenic cascades. BRCC3, the human homolog of BRCC36, is implicated in neurological disorders and plays a crucial role in neuroinflammation and pyroptosis. However, its effects and potential mechanisms in cerebral I/R injury in mice are unclear.

methodsCellular localization of BRCC3 and the interaction between BRCC3 and NLRP6 were assessed. Middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO) and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) models were established in mice and HT22 cells, respectively, to simulate cerebral I/R injury in vivo and in vitro.

resultsBRCC3 protein expression peaked 24 h after MCAO and OGD/R. BRCC3 knockdown reduced the inflammation and pyroptosis caused by cerebral I/R injury and ameliorated neurological deficits in mice after MCAO. The effects of BRCC3 on inflammation and pyroptosis may be mediated by NLRP6 inflammasome activation. Moreover, both BRCC3 and its N- and C-terminals interacted with NLRP6, and both BRCC3 and its terminals reduced NLRP6 ubiquitination. Additionally, BRCC3 affected the interaction between NLRP6 and ASC, which may be related to inflammasome activation.

conclusionBRCC3 shows promise as a novel target to enhance neurological recovery and attenuate the inflammatory responses and pyroptosis caused by NLRP6 activation in cerebral I/R injury.
